It is said that the beach at Rarar Island is one of the best in PNG. Rarar is a tiny island in Manus province and you can see the island from Lorengau. It's not more than 2 minutes by speedboat from Lorengau.http://www.myamazingparadise.com/?p=125

The Black Cat Trail is 61 grueling kilometres. The track runs from Wau in the Bulolo district through eight villages and to the coast in Salamaua in the Huon
district and takes five days to walk the full stretch.

That would have to be Vanimo, West Sepik province (Sandaun). Vanimo is also the gateway to South East Asia. About 45 minutes drive west you reach the border station of Wutung, cross over and you are in Indonesia’s Papua province. Lorengau is further north but not as far east.

Sorry, I do not understand your question but never mind I will try to guess what you are after. You possibly are after the Southern Region? This consisted of - the National Capital District, and the following provinces Central, Gulf, Western, Northern (Oro) and Milne Bay. You could also be after the Southern Highlands Province?

I hope you are talking about the Hermit Islands?The Hermit Islands, if you can find them on the map you get a prize! are Northwest of Kavieng but still east of mainland PNG, they are part of the Admiralty Island chain.There are about 10 islands in the Hermit chain. The main island Luf, is the only one inhabited with a village.

The Lark Force Wilderness Track is in the inland Baining area of East New Britain province. The track compliments existing tourism attractions in the province like the Japanese tunnels and the Bitapaka war cemetery.

Sorry this is a confusing question.The mainland of PNG occupies the eastern side of the Island of New Guinea. The other side is shared with Indonesia. PNG is, however not just this island. It consists of many other islands. Some of the bigger ones are New Britain, New Ireland and Bougaiville but it has hundreds of other islands.The area of the island of New Guinea is 786,000 km˛(303,500 mi sq).

Please note that this is not "Ask Jeeves" -
you cannot type a whole sentence as your query. Enter a single word,
a phrase, or several words and press search.

Please remember that this is a FAQ database about Papua New Guinea.

Doing a search for PNG or New Guinea or even P.N.G will probably not return
much. Keep the search simple. i.e. if you want to find out the population
simply enter "population" without the quotes. There is no need to have
PNG / P.N.G or whatever in the search string.

Also - Spelling is important
searching for 'inkom' will not return items related to 'income'. If you are searching
Lady Carol Kidu just enter Carol Kidu or even Kidu. You are not searching the WWW only
these FAQ's so the topic has already been narrowed to PNG related topics for you.
